Terry's 11-Month Accelerated MBA program is three semesters long and begins each year at the end of May. Following an intensive review of their undergraduate business coursework over the summer, 11-month students join returning second year students in the fall for two semesters of elective classes.

Students take core curriculum classes in their first year of the MBA program, including Leadership, Ethics, Accounting, Economics, Business Law, MIS, Finance, etc. Students are also allowed to take one elective course in the second semester of their first year. The second year is focused entirely upon elective courses to round out the business experience and fundamental business curriculum. MBA students are encouraged to complete an Internship in their Summer semester between their first and second year.
